Chapter 301: The #1 Detective Of All Time

.....

"The Plasma Element...?"

Azmodeus sniffed around in a dumpster and found slight traces of the Plasma Element.

Considering that the bodies looked like the victims of an extremely powerful vampire, why might the Plasma Element be present?

"Hmm... Is the vampire some sort of Plasma user...?"

The #1 detective in the world continued to search around the ghost town, attempting to find more clues that could help support the existence of a Plasma Expert.

After a few more minutes of overturning every rock and searching the crevices of all the corpses, Azmodeus repeatedly nodded his head.

Acting like he knew the answer to everything, his expression hardened, and he said, "Ahh, yes... This is... Ahh, yes... very good."

To be truthful, Azmodeus had no clue what the hell he was supposed to be looking for!

He simply wanted to act cool!

Rustle, Rustle.

"Umu?"

A distinct rustling sound took Azmodeus out of his self-indulgent reverie. Then, with a neutral look on his face, he turned his head behind him and lifted his gaze a little.

That was when he saw it...

"Umu... What Mutant Ninja Turtle sewer did you crawl out of...?"

Azmodeus locked his gaze with a massive creature more than 30 times his size. With large, beady eyes and a rat-like body, it would definitely be able to give Sensei Shredder a run for his money!

SHING!

Its 5-meter-long claws exhibited their ridiculously sharp, freaky nails, causing the wind to whistle.

Still, no matter how terrifying this creature was, Azmodeus simply stared at it with his head at a slight tilt.

"So, you're one of the ones who did all this...? You definitely have the Plasma Element present in your body, but it seems like everything around here was not solely the result of your savagery..."

"!!!" "!!!"

Even though they were mindless beasts and only knew death and destruction, that didn't mean they couldn't feel fear.

It was just that nothing induced as much fear out of them as this tiny, seemingly insignificant human...

With such immense fear at the forefront of their minds, the rats attempted to flee the scene!

"Umu? Why do they always run...?"

Azmodeus looked toward the rats and saw that they all ran in different directions. Which, in retrospect, was quite the smart decision.

However, it didn't seem like whether it was a smart or dumb decision mattered in the slightest for the #1 Detective...

Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt!

With the sounding of three consecutive finger beams, Azmodeus shot large gaping holes through a countless number of buildings!

"Esceeetch!!!" X3

After the soul-piercing sound of three screeches, Azmodeus faded from his position.

FWIP!

He reappeared in front of the closest Giant Rat and absorbed its memories. After which, a good understanding of the situation was given to him.

"Wow! It looks like all these rats are the byproducts of some Super Boss! Not only that, but it appears that it isn't only District F-9049 experiencing similar outbreaks of these vampire rats."

Based off what Azmodeus gathered from the rat's memories, these rats were called 'Plasma Terrors', and they were typically around the Early Alpha Realm in strength.

As for why these beasts were in so many Districts...

"We have a traitor in our midst... Heh..." Azmodeus's grin widened at this realization.

He truly couldn't wait to put his detective skills to the test and figure out just what sort of betrayal was cooking up behind the scenes!

With post-haste, Azmodeus blurred from his spot and dashed through the skies like an evanescent wraith.

Finding the big secret boss was the only thing he wanted to do at this moment in time!
